Phillips Head

Post-Punk Power-Pop High-Energy Original Rock

About Me

PHILLIPS HEAD is a uniquely entertaining original rock band based in upstate NY. The alternative power act has steadilly played clubs and events in the Northeast and beyond since forming in 1994. The band is well known for their HIGH-ENERGY live show, catchy songs, and loyal fan base. With their explosive sound and intensive schedule, Phillips Head has proven to be a major contributor to the region's original music scene. To date, the band has released two full-length albums, an acoustic EP, and a live recording from NYC's legendary CBGB. Phillips Head is currently working on their third full-length release, and actively touring New York and the surrounding states.Highlight performances include HARD ROCK CAFE BOSTON MA, GWU WASHINGTON DC, CBGB NYC, ALBANY LARKFEST, CONTINENTAL NYC, LION'S DEN NYC, PUSSYCAT LOUNGE NYC, TRASH BAR BROOKLYN, GLENS FALLS CIVIC CENTER, VALENTINE'S ALBANY, QE2, BOGIE'S, ACC SUPERJAM, SIX FLAGS, SARATOGA WINNERS, NORTHERN LIGHTS CLIFTON PARK, SKIDMORE COLLEGE, UNION COLLEGE, SIENNA COLLEGE, SOLAR X GAMES, YOUR MOM'S HOUSE and more.

The music is a powerhouse blend of pop, punk, and rock, driven by forceful guitar chords, punchy bass lines, and rock-solid rhythms. The songs cover the broad (that's a pun) spectrum of love, lust, and beer with a perfect combination of amusingly witty lyrics, memorable hooks, and melodic vocals. Influences/Similar Artists include The Ramones, The Replacements, Material Issue, Social Distortion, Elvis Costello, Violent Femmes, The Kinks, Matthew Sweet, and The Clash. The songs are powerful, catchy, fast, and FUN.
